Antique Georgian Tourmaline & Natural Pearl Ring
About the Item
A bright pink tourmaline weighing .60 carats is surrounded by 10 luminous natural saltwater pearls in this antique 18K yellow gold ring. This gorgeous jewel dates from around 1840, though possibly earlier. The gorgeous tourmaline is bezel-set and the gold has been crimped like a pie to hold the stone in place. The ten pearls —each measuring approximately 3.25mm— are tremendously luminous and display orient; that's the prismatic display of color that some, but not all, fine natural pearls exhibit.
The rear of the ring has an opening that allows the tourmaline to be cleaned from beneath to keep the stone bright and beautiful. Originally I imagine this was a closed-back setting but at some point in its history somebody chose to open the stone up and as a result, the stone is sparkling and firey instead of looking dimmed and perhaps dirty underneath like you see with many similar rings from this era. The ring is European but I am not sure where exactly it was created.
The ring bears a metal fineness mark "AH" that may represent a jeweler out of Belgium but I cannot be sure. The ring is also marked for metal fineness. This beautiful antique ring is in very fine condition and all the stones are in beautiful condition and are original to the ring. The ring is currently a size 7 and could be resized by your local jeweler.

I'm dating it as an early Victorian piece -circa 1850- but it may well be an older Georgian ring. Remarkably, the ring is not dented, torn, or damaged in any way. In fact, the ring has never been resized. It was created as a size 13 ring...Category
